IMPROVEMENT IN BLACKSMITl- IS BUTTERISES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 127,708, dated June 11,1872.

To all lwhom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN H. RHAMY, of Findley, in the county of Hancockand State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvement inBlacksmiths Butterises; and I hereby declare the follow-in g to be afull, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had tothe accompanying drawing making a part of this specification, in whichthe figure is a view in perspective.

This invention relates to an improvement in blacksmiths butterises 5 andconsists of a comp ound lever composed of three simple levers, one ofwhich is provided with a steel paringknife and another with ananvil-block so arranged that, when the device is Operated, a projectionbeyond the anvil-block on one of the levers rests against thehorseshoof, while 'the steel paring-knife on another lever, ap-

proaching the anvil-block, pares OH' the hoof and cuts oi the nails in aperfectly easy manner by reason of the increased leverage resulting fromthe use of the compound lever.

In the drawing, Ais the simple lever, provided with the anvil-block B. Cis the simple lever, provided with the steel paring-knife D, and E isthe simple lever, connected, by loops or hangers F and G, to the leversA and C.

In operation the point H ofthe lever A rests against the horses hoof,and the paring-knife D, being forced by the power applied to the leversA and E, approaches -the anvil-block B and pares off the horses hoof,and also cuts oft` the nails in the hooi', thereby performing the doubleoffice of butteris and pinchers. A

thumb-screw, I, in the lever A, striking again st the upper edge of thelever C, is used to regulate the latter, so as to prevent the blade ofthe paring-knife D from striking the face of yhangers F and G,constructed and Operating substantially as described, for the purposeshereinbefore set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing improvement, as above described,I have hereunto set my hand and seal this 26th day of February, 1872.
